Giants X post 3

Today, we finished the basic structure of our building be adding a wooden roof, a opening for a door, and clay supports on the sides. Our structure will definitely survive the earthquake. For our next class, we plan to dedicate our whole time for decoration. We will definitely construct a successful earthquake-proof building.

Dodgers Reflection 2 (Group X)

So far Alex is doing a great job designing the 3D printed object. He has measured the diameter of the pvc pipe so the pipe fits exactly in to the object. He has also put a dodgers sign on it for amazing decoration. Langston started cutting our pipe. On the first try it was off by 0.2 inches. It was really annoying. Sadly, we need it to be exactly three inches. Luckily, we bought a foot so we can cut it even more. Jay actually made someone loose $125 by making them buy clay. We also got a pvc pipe for free so we now have even more than we need. Alex now has finished making the 3D object, but someone is using both of them. Hopefully by lunch we will be able to print it. We now just started building our structure. We are measuring where we put the pipe thats stick into the foundation. We found out that we don't need glue to get the pvc pipe to stay in our foundation. It just sticks in a hole that we made. We had a problem when we put the first pvc pipe in. We accidentally made a hole through the foundation. We have now figured out what our building is going to be, a mining facility. Our goals for Wednesday is to print our 3D object and to get started building. This is the dodgers signing off for the second time.
